On Wednesday last NJ. A. Adams, Of Carnes-
vile, while on the way to Toccoa, encountered
an army Of frogs between Avalon ana Poplar
Springs church. The column was about 800
yards wide, lenght unknown, as it extended on
each side Of the road as far as Alr, Adams
could see. They were not scattered here and
there. but the ground was literally covered
with them. They were quite small and ap-
peared to be of the bull frog yari ty, and were
moving north in tho direction Of EastaEnaie
creek mile or more distant. All were going
in the same direction, aud hopping right along,
As If on an important mission that would not
admit Of delay. There is no water in the d.
rcction from which they came except small
branches at some distance. Mr.. Adams could
form no theory Of thor origin, except that they
fell from the clouds in the rainfall OF the pgeyi-
ou5 day. There are pretty well authenticated
accounts OF frogs having fallen in great num-
bcrs during heavy rains, and it is not uGHob
able that Dir. Adamss theory is correct.

Mr.. j. p. Brown, from his farm near town
picked and Ginncd ten bales Of cotton per plow
during the month Of August, and good judges say
that lie win get ten bales more per plow from his
crop. Mr.. Brown runs three-borse farm, and in
addition 10 his cotton crop Of sixty bales has made
an abundance OF corn, potatoes and ne. Twenty
bales Of cotton per plow is excellent farming, and

spent several hours in conference with the
president and Speaker Carlisle in regard to the

presidents summer cottage. Mr.. Randall said
today that he did not come to Washington to
talk about the tariff, but, of course, he could
not tell what might occur before he left the

Congressman Scott interviewed in Regard to
the Tariff.

WAsHINGToN, September Hon. w. s.
Scott, of Pennsylvania, returned TO the city
this evening from his visit to the president at
Oakview, and was seen by a reporter OF the as
sociated press. When asked whether the tar
iff and reduction of revenue had been discussed
by the president and himself, Secretary Fair
child and Mr.. Carlisle, and whether a bill has
been agreed upon, he said that this subject as
we'll as other public matters, had been talked
about and that while there was no difference
Of opinion among the gentlemen present rs to
the necessity for an cary reduction of revenues
and taxation, no measure for that purpose had
been agreed upon and mono would be without
consultation with members belonging TO the
majority in the hOusu of representatives. 1t
was the opinion of all that there ought to be a
very considerable reduction at the earliest pos
sible date after the meeting Of congress, but
the manner in which the reduction should be
made was considered only in general way
and no details were agreed upon. This, he
said. was all that could be said about the So
called conferences, and statements upon the
subject going the rounds Of the press were mere
speculatiOuS.

Letters bave passed between Mr.. Fordyce
and leading citizens of this place, and
there has been some quick work done in
the last two weeks. The matter has been
quietly talked over with leading men of
the Grapevine section, and there is an IN
doubted disposition among them to aid
in securing The construction of the road
through their section. 1t is believed that
nothing more than depot grounds and
right of way through the county will be
asked by the road, and they will have no
trouble in securing that. Mr.. Bushong, 8
leading and wealthy citizen OF Grapevine,
has expressed himself as speaking
for his people, and assures those
interested in the Efforts being
made that Grapevine will do her
part IN securing the construction of the
road through Grapevine to Fort Worth.
Mr.. Furdyce himself will be in Fort Worth
in few days, and it is expected that the
work that has been done on the quiet
will eliminate in definite proposition
from Mr.. Fordyce to the people OF this
city. Those VINO profess to know all
about this matter go so far as to say that
an understanding has slready been ar
rived at, and that work on the proposed
line will commence inside of sixty days.

THE QUARLES MURDER.
Steve Burton, the Negro Arrested for the
Crime. Makes Three Confessions.

Steve Burton, the Negro Arrested for the
Crime. Makes Three Confessions.
Special to the Gazette.
MExIA, Ten, Feb. Steve Burton, the
negro arrested Yesterday on suspicion of
having murdered Neal Quarles and jailed
last night, became greatly frightened at
the crowd which gathered there after the
south bound Central train left, and when
first interviewed stoutly denied any
knowledge of or participation in the
crime, but at about O'Clock this morn
lug made a partial confession to the
crowd who remained there with him the
whole night. He alleges that while
he was with the crowd who
murdered Neal and knew Of the plot nav
ing been made by these same parties more
than month ago to kill him, he had 10
hand in the murder further than to toll
QuGrles off with seductive promises to
the cotton yard while Albert Jefferson,
the negro who acted as confederate and
for whom the officers are still in pursuit,
Steve's brother-in-lav, Chess Adams,
and Edom Burton were in
waiting, and that Albert JEFF
fersor shot him. Edom hit him
with a pole and Chess Adams cut his
throat. The jury, retiring on this con-
fesSion, again deferred converting until
tomorrow, and dispatched Constable
Lewis after CHESS Adams and Edom Bur
ton. One was und ate ndiDg the fur eral
of the murdered man at his home, ana the
other at home working. Constable L-ws
tonight with both parties, Jail
Edom ard turned Chess loose, it having
been stated By a party for whom CHESS
had been working for some time that ne
was not there. Chess will be here,
though, at the trial tomorrow.
Steve has made numerous confessions
since morning, no two cOrrobOrdting eacn
other, and his frequent attempts at sui
eide by butting his head against the walls,
stufling rags down his throat, and hang
ing q chain around his neck, etc, Just
after the first confession convinces many
that he did the bloody work Of cutting
the throat Of the murdered man.
The end is not yet, and rich develop
nents are looked for tomorrow.

THE SHAWNEES.
They Are Thriving Since Living with the
Cherokees.

They Are Thriving since Living with the
Cherokees.
Special to the Gazette.
TAHLKQUAH, T, Feb. $.-Talking &c
James Walker, the representative OF the
Shawnee Indians, to-day, it is learned
that the Shawnees are getting along SPLEEN
didly since they have become i part Of the
Cherokee nation. They live in one corner
of the nation about 100 miles southwest
always live in bunch tc
suaded to scatter out among their
Cherokee neighbors to any great extent.
He says his people tried the allotment
plan and gave 1t up. Their
lands are near and adjoining Kan
sas City. In the bargain made some years
ago they got their shares, however,
but did not hold them long but sold on
account of the incongruity of their sur
roundings. They could not live with the
whites and soon sought reservation in
common in the Indian Territory among
the Cherokees where they have been liv-
ing for the last ten or twelve
years, but before leaving Kansas a
majority of them became pauper5 almost,
the allotment system causing this. They
have paid their pro rata share into the
Cherokee nation for homes, and here they
expect to live to the end. Though part of
them, traction called the Black Babs, have
a small reservation in the Pottawottamie
nation, once the most powerful tribe
among the Aborigines, number
ing their warriors By the thousand they
have become all old, small
handful or remnant not over 500
or 600. Broken treaties on the part of
the United States government has done
all this. Once they were rich in lands and
money, but they are p or now but seem
to be contented in their new adopted
homes. Continuing, ne said quite q lot
of people left valuable Improvements and
lands in Kansas when they came here, so
anxious were they to get away from their
lands, and these lands lave become more
than ever in the last two |
or three years, and tricksters and sharp
ers have been busy beating my people out |
of these lands By going to them and |
telling them they were not worth much,
and buying lands worth 500 |
per acre near Kansas City and vicinity |
for from $40 to 500, and my people not
knowing the value of their possessions
they left behind have been swindled |
ireadfully in this way This matter is
now being looked into by the department
1t Washington by special agents who
nave been Investigating these Cherokee
and l look to see sll of our
people get something like just compensa-
ion for their property in Kansas.
